Definitely not my cup of tea, because the story of a sick loved one hits a bit too close to home and reliving those memories once again, when they are in front of me as it is anyway, certainly is not something I am interested in. Sorry, I prefer to skip it, but congrats with BOTD!

Losing a loved one is painful more so for a parent to lose their child. I can't fathom the emotional distress that the author and her husband went through when dealing with legal battles and their terminally ill child. It breaks my heart that they experienced that.
It is laudable that the author shares her experience. A truly inspiring fete. I found it comforting that Chad found peace in God.
Congratulations on BOTD!
Thank you for such a wonderful review.

This book, Chad's Triumph" by Diana J. Meyer is about the loss of a child with leukemia. There isn't too much more I can add to your description that you haven't stated in your thorough review. One thing I am curious about is why did the government get involved in the care of this child. I will be reading this book to find out plus how this mom dealt with the sickness of her first son, Chad.

Diana J. Meyer's 'Chad’s Triumph: The Chad Green Story' is a heart-wrenching narrative of parental struggle and a child's battle with leukemia. Meyer's courage in sharing this deeply personal story, along with vivid details and poignant photos, creates a powerful emotional impact. Congrats on BOTD.

Personally, I have a very difficult time dealing with the emotional issues related to sick children. So, this isn't a book for me. But I applaud Ms. Meyer for her courage in telling Chad's story.

This is heartbreaking! I can not imagine the agony of the devastated parents. Death of any loved one is heartwrenching. But death of a child is absolutely the worst pain imaginable. Kudos to the author for sharing her story and inspiring other despite her immense loss.

The review perfectly captured the essence of the book. This detailed review is exceptionally well-written and encouraging. Thank you for sharing this beautiful review.

With all the troubles that the author went through trying to care for her terminally ill child, the author helps us appreciate life and health more and how the authority should interfere less with family affairs. The reader can also learn about what choices to make should the same situation happen to his or her loved one.

-When someone tells you that their loved one is sick, all you can think about is how they're struggling with taking care of the loved one and the hospital bills. Sometimes, especially when the loved one is suffering from a terminal illness, you even feel sorry for them. What if, in addition to all these sufferings, the legal custody of their sick loved one is transferred to the government? What if, besides all these sufferings, they had court battles, trying to earn back their loved one so they can continue taking care of him?
- The first problem did make me think about how they are struggling to take care of him. After the second and the third problem and so on, it just became so sad and depressing that I decided not to read the book. Thank you for your honest review.

It's really brave of the author to write about something as sad as losing her son. It's not easy to share such a personal story. Thank you for your review. It sounds like "Chad’s Triumph" is a moving book that many people would find worth reading.

It is so sad to see that what Chad's parents thought was a cold turned out to be leukemia. Childhood cancer is a devastating thing for families, and I am curious to know how his parents dealt with that emotional pain. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like a really heavy read. I can't even imagine what Chad's parents went through. I commend the author on her bravery to pen this. However, I don't read nonfiction, so I'll pass on this one.

These are undoubtedly tough times that are sure to tug at one's emotions.

This book is for anyone who finds motivation in other people's stories as it details the real life and struggle of the author's son with leukemia. It has a raw look at the life of a cancer patient and all the added challenges that comes with it. Congrats on the BOTD!
